Platelet reactivity during antiplatelet therapy
Paulů, Petra ; Osmančík, Pavel (advisor) ; Dyr, Jan (referee) ; Ošťádal, Petr (referee)
INTRODUCTION: Dual antiplatelet therapy is the basis of the treatement of patients with coronary artery disease following PCI. It demonstrably reduces the risk of ischemic complications of these patients and thus the morbidity and mortality. Despite all the effort we can see the recurrence of ischemic complications and worsening the prognosis in considerable percentage of patients. Resistance to treatement and resistance to clopidogrel can be marked as reason of therapy failure. AIM: The aim of our study was to a) define the incidence of clopidogrel resistance in real practise b) specify the factors which are associated with clopidogrel resistance c) determine whether the platelet reactivity measured by VerifyNow can be influenced by clopidogrel dose titration d) define the factors which are associated with worse prognosis of patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy METHODS: We enrolled consecutive patients after PCI who were indicated to dual antiplatelet therapy. The blood samples were drawn within 24 hours after PCI and standart biochemical, hematological and coagulation parametres were determined. Also the serology and genetic analysis and VerifyNow test to determine the platelet reactivity were done. The PRU cut off value 240 was specified as the borderline of ineffective answer to clopidogrel...
